Lots of fragile psyches around here. I've never seen people get their knickers in such a twist over a colour. A Third Reich edition, complete with Reichsadlers and Schutzstaffel roundels wouldn't get this much hate.

It also gets old to see 1M and F87 owners bash the car endlessly. I own an F87, but I try to stay objective. There are a lot of salty ass owners who are so biased it's ridiculous. This happens every time, but it seems even more vitriolic since the G8x has been released. The irony is half of these clowns will probably end up in a G87 and defend it rabidly from there forward. |

It is supposed to look like a $62k car. I'd say it has the best hips for anything short of a 911...

Oddly enough, the previous gen m2's soft, rounded-off design language never spoke to me. It didn't look bad by any means, but kind of vanilla and non-descript. I think the g87 will appeal to people who like bold designs, and/or an avant garde type presence. The unrefined, fistfight on wheels nature fits this car.

Anyone listen to Spike’s Car Radio? If so go listen to what Jerry Seinfeld, Spike Feresten, and Paul Zuckerberg had to say on the most recent episode called ‘Jerry Seinfeld’ and skip to 48:48. |

Hey guys and gals! Just want to clear up the color discrepency specifically with the comparison between the video filmed in the same location, and the photos. The video was filmed on a seperate day where it actually was very sunny. Theres glass panneling that allows sunlight in located directly above the vehicle. The photos were taken on a day with a large amount of overcast. The color does behave quite differently depending on lighting. Best bet would be for people to see the color in person in multiple different lighting environments. In sunlight, its flatter. In overcast, its much deeper. Not insanely deep, but never the less deeper than it is in sunlight. I did see some creative BMW released of the G87 on a race track in Germany, and it looks much differently then the video filmed. Color grading on phones/cameras are much different as well, so thats a factor as well.

You best go ahead and get in line for a LCI. I learned of a center yesterday that has already taken two deposits for the LCI G87. |

Waiting for the LCI is tempting but I just worry they would something stupid and axe the MT. I haven't seen anything suggesting that they would, but I just don't trust them. I will not sacrifice that.

The writing is on the wall for the manual transmission at BMW. It would be foolish to think otherwise.
Edit, It also would appear to be a fair warning to those that are waiting for a manual LCI. It just might not materialize. Last edited by T_U_D; 11-02-2022 at 04:18 PM.. |
